192 Reconciliation
◎A gentle kiss should be okay, right?◎
That night the stars were shining brightly and the night was as cool as water. Although there was only a waning moon hanging in the dome, the lanterns were hung high in the princess's mansion every night, and it was always as bright as day.
Xie Qi left in anger, and no one turned off the lights in the dormitory that he had lit.
On the spacious and soft bed in the inner room, Xu Qinghe gathered the quilt tightly around him, sweat oozing out of his smooth and plump forehead.
At the same time, there seemed to be a hot current surging down.
With trembling hands, she tried to touch Jin Ling beside the pillow.
The next moment, there was a sound of a door being pushed open.
The man's footsteps were light, but very familiar.
He went into the inner room, put the clothes back on the rack, and blew out the lights that had just been lit.
It’s Xie Qi.
He took off his shoes and socks and lay back down on his bed.
It's not that he doesn't care about his dignity as a man, it's just that the girl is still injured and can't leave him.
Besides, he had already converted the rooms in the yard into a pharmacy, so how could anyone live there?
It's not like there aren't any empty rooms in the princess's mansion, but running around in the middle of the night is so troublesome. If you don't know, you might think there's a thief in the princess's mansion, disturbing others' rest.
Therefore, after thinking it over again and again, he decided that it would be best for him to stay with this girl.
Of course, he was also hoping that maybe in this half hour, the girl would be able to figure something out.
After all, judging from her breathing, the girl was clearly not asleep yet.
But that's not right.
This breathing sound is wrong.
Xie Qi reacted quickly, turned on the light again, lifted the curtain in front of the bed, and went to see the girl on the bed.
Xu Qinghe curled up and lay on his side on the bed.
Her long hair, which was smooth just now, was soon wet with sweat, and a lot of it stuck to her thin cheeks.
Her face was pale and she was biting her lips, clearly in great pain.
"Qinghe, Qinghe?"
He leaned forward and asked softly, "Where does it hurt? Is the wound hurting again?"
Xie Qi's voice was trembling, his heart was aching, and he felt so regretful that his intestines almost turned green.
Why are you angry with her for no reason?
“…”
Xu Qinghe felt very painful and aggrieved.
People who are injured are naturally more delicate. She was angry and in pain. As soon as she opened her mouth, tears involuntarily fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Didn't you leave? Didn't you say you didn't want to talk to me anymore? Why are you back now?"
Even his voice trembled when he spoke.
Xie Qi felt both pain and regret in his heart, and his throat felt as if it was blocked by a ball of wet cotton, making it uncomfortably tight.
He climbed onto the bed and pulled her into his arms, scooping her up with the blanket. He coaxed her softly, "You're right here. Where else can I go? How could I not talk to you? I was angry before, and I was wrong. Please don't be angry, okay? Tell me where it hurts or where you feel uncomfortable, okay?"
Xu Qinghe didn't know where he got the strength from, and actually raised his hand to push him: "Go away, I don't want you, call Nanzhi here."
The force was so soft that it seemed more like she was acting coquettishly.
"What's Nanzhi? I'm right here, who else do I need Nanzhi for?"
Xie Qi grabbed her wrists with one hand, and with the other hand he pulled open the quilt that she had been holding tightly to her chest. He then pulled her legs up into his arms, intending to lean over to look at the wound on her heart.
However, a sticky feeling came from the palm of the hand.
He lowered his head and saw a blood-red spot in his palm in the dim candlelight.
“…”
The hand holding her wrist loosened slightly, and Xu Qinghe immediately pulled the quilt over her waist.
"Go call Nanzhi."
Her lower abdomen was in great pain and she was gasping for breath while speaking.
Xie Qi was brought back to his senses by her voice.
"Your period is clearly not at this time, why is it now?"
Xu Qinghe endured the pain and told him not to ask any more questions and to go find Nanzhi quickly.
She felt uncomfortably sticky.
It must have been because of a serious injury that my period hadn't come for over a month, but it happened to come today.
She was embarrassed and didn't want to look at him.
Unexpectedly, the man picked her up again and went to the purification room.
A sigh came from above his head, and Xu Qinghe heard Xie Qi saying the same thing just now.
"I'm right here, what else do you need Nanzhi for? Having me is enough for you."
He first cleaned her body carefully, changed her into a clean sanitary belt, and then carried her to sit on the couch. After personally checking to make sure that the injury on her heart had not affected her this time, he went to make the bed.
After the bed was made fresh, he went to get a few hot water bottles and stuffed some in her hands and around her feet.
She opened the outside window again and lit her favorite incense to suppress the smell.
After doing all this, he finally took off his shoes and socks.
This time he went straight to the bed.
Xu Qinghe turned sideways, still refusing to pay attention to him.
Xie Qi gently straightened the person.
"Don't sleep like that. It will make the wound uncomfortable."
Xu Qinghe was lying upright, but his head was tilted to the side.
"Didn't you want to talk to me? Why are you coming over here so eagerly now?"
She still remembers the grudge of the past few days.
Ever since she was injured, Xie Qi rarely hugged her for fear of accidentally touching the wound.
Now he just leaned over and placed his warm big palm on her lower abdomen.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have been angry with you, let alone not talking to you. I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"
After the detoxification, the man's body returned to its familiar temperature.
He didn't sleep on the same bed with her these days, and Xu Qinghe sometimes felt a little cold.
Now the familiar temperature is beside me, and the heat source is tightly attached to my lower abdomen, easing the pain there a little.
It would have been fine if he didn't coax her, but once he did, Xu Qinghe felt wronged and started crying quietly again.
Maybe it was because she had her period, she was inexplicably upset and couldn't stop crying.
Xie Qi hadn't seen her cry so hard in a long time.
He hurriedly tried to wipe her tears, but the girl suddenly turned around.
Her beautiful eyes were red, the tip of her nose was also red, and two clear tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes, about to fall. She looked so pitiful.
"You already know you're wrong, so why are you still ignoring me? I've already taken the initiative to submit to you, but you're still not happy. What do you want? I'm still hurt, and it hurts so much. How can you still make me so angry?"
The more she spoke, the harder she cried, and her tears rolled down one by one like beads from a broken string.
"Xie Qi, how can you bully me like this? I don't want you anymore. I don't want you anymore. Find someone else! I want someone who won't be angry with me and won't ignore me!"
Even though he knew that this was just some angry words she said during a special period, Xie Qi still panicked and hurried to wipe her tears.
"It's all my fault. I made you angry, I bullied you, I was wrong. You hit me, scolded me, punished me, I accept it all, but you can't abandon me."
"I've waited for so many years, and finally everything is resolved. I can be with you forever, but how can you change someone now?"
Thinking of some old things, Xu Qinghe cried even harder.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly you who doesn't want me, Xie Qi. You don't want to marry me, and you asked me to leave. You even hoped I'd find another good partner... You, it's all you. It's clearly you who doesn't want me..."
The broken cries and belated complaints were like sharp knives, cutting Xie Qi's already panicked heart into thin slices, then into thin strips, and finally into minced pieces.
He held the person in his arms, and the new and old things piled up together, making people regret it so much.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you away back then, and I shouldn't have ignored you recently, but Qinghe, I never wanted to leave you."
He held her in his arms and called her over and over again.
Qinghe, Qinghe.
Just two short words, yet they seemed to be filled with a thousand pounds of affection.
But Xu Qinghe was still crying, as if she wanted to take advantage of this special occasion to tell out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
"How could you lie to me? How could you push me away? I like you so much and want to be with you so much, but you have to treat me like that."
"You lied to me, teased me, and pushed me away. You didn't want me. I was alone, pregnant with Ping An. Do you know how hard it is to be pregnant? I felt so bad I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I couldn't eat or sleep, and I had to be wary of others."
"But at this time, I heard bad news about you. Xie Qi, you are such a bastard. Do you know how scared I was at that time? What if you really died? What if I really couldn't see you again? I didn't even have time to tell you that we have a daughter."
"Other people have husbands by their side during pregnancy, but I have nothing. In that strange town, I miss my parents, and I miss you. But you're not here, and neither are my parents. All those people from the past are gone..."
She cried and kept complaining about her grievances.
Xie Qi didn't interrupt her, but just listened quietly, listening to the emotions that she had never expressed out loud over the years and that were buried deep in her heart.
His Qinghe was a proud girl. Even though she had suffered a lot in the past and even though they had reconciled now, she was unwilling to use her past vulnerabilities as a bargaining chip to gain sympathy.
If it weren't for this time, he might not have known the pain she hid deep in her heart.
He hugged the person in his arms tightly, feeling that he was simply...
He deserves the death penalty.
After an unknown amount of time, the person in my arms finally got tired of crying and fell asleep unknowingly.
Xie Qicai lowered his head and kissed her trembling eyelashes.
"I'm sorry, Qinghe."
"Not again."
He would never let her suffer these grievances and pains again.
**
The next day, Xu Qinghe woke up with a splitting headache.
When she opened her eyes, she found that her field of vision had become much smaller.
The memories of last night came flooding back like a rising tide.
Xu Qinghe closed his eyes, feeling extremely regretful.
Why last night...
Why did she hug him and cry like that, and... even bring up all the things that happened in the past?
This is simply...
It's shameful, so shameful.
She gritted her teeth, wishing she could go back to last night and beat up that weak woman who clung to his arms as if begging for mercy.
How could you do such a shameful thing!
She was so angry that she felt a heavy pain in her lower abdomen.
She had no choice but to put aside her anger temporarily and shook Jin Ling beside her pillow.
The bell had just rung and had not yet faded when the door of the main room was pushed open with a creaky sound.
Xie Qi picked up the golden hook and pulled up the curtain around the bed.
When I walked in to tidy up the curtain in front of the bed, I pulled at it but couldn't open it.
"...Qinghe?"
Xu Qinghe tugged at the curtains and said in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here? Go out and call Nanzhi."
Xie Qi leaned over and whispered to her through the curtains, "She's not here. I'll help you get up, okay?"
Because of what happened last night, Xu Qinghe didn't want to see him at all.
"Call Nanzhi, I don't want..."
"Stop saying you don't want me, Qinghe."
But he interrupted her and sighed, feeling very disappointed: "If you always say this, I will take it seriously and feel sad."
"You gave me a good scare not long ago, so please don't make me sad again, okay?"
“…”
Thinking of this man's reaction when he was injured, Xu Qinghe lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, gradually loosening the strength in his hands.
The tent was finally opened, and the sunlight from outside came in little by little, from a line to the entire area, and finally enveloped people in the sunlight.
Very warm, with a soothing flavor.
Xu Qinghe turned away, letting his face fall into the shadows.
However, that person still insisted on coming over.
"Your eyes are swollen, aren't they?"
He held her jaw and gently turned her face over.
Qinglingling's eyes were now red and bloodshot.
The skin around the eyes was slightly pink and slightly swollen, indeed like two freshly washed peaches.
"First, I'll help you wash up and have breakfast, and then I'll apply some eye cream to you, okay?"
“…”
When being held in someone's arms, Xu Qinghe raised her right hand, which was not affected by the wound, and although she lowered her face, she hooked it around his neck.
It's the default.
The weather was cold and she was having her period, so Xie Qi didn't use ice. Instead, he ordered someone to boil a few eggs, which he then wrapped in a soft handkerchief and rolled around her eyes.
His movements were so gentle that Xu Qinghe felt a little drowsy.
But when his warm breath hit her, her face felt hot for no reason.
"What happened last night..."
She cried all night and her voice became hoarse.
Xie Qi stopped what he was doing, poured her a cup of hot water, and handed it to her lips, serving her very attentively.
Xu Qinghe took a few sips of water and continued, "Don't tell anyone about what happened last night."
The warm touch returned to the area around my eyes, and the person above me laughed.
"What happened last night? Why don't I remember it?"
Xu Qinghe didn't know whether it was because he was too close and his warm breath hit her face, or because her wound was healing, but she suddenly felt a slight itch in her heart.
She endured the itch and said in a deliberately cold voice, "It's better if you don't remember."
After applying the mask to her eyes for a while, Xie Qi ordered someone to take the things away, then stretched out his arms and gently held her in his arms.
"Whether it was last night or before, it was all my fault. It was all my fault."
He lowered his head, looking for her red eyes, and coaxed her softly, "I will never make those mistakes again, so please forgive me, okay?"
The ending tone is upturned, which makes people feel itchy for no reason.
Xu Qinghe was locked in his arms, unable to avoid his burning gaze.
She knew that what he wanted was not just the forgiveness of the past few days, but also the forgiveness of the past.
From concealing his identity, to concealing the truth, to pushing her away with his own hands, and having a cold war with her without saying a word.
She and Xie Qi had been together for more than 20 years, but they had been separated for five years twice.
How many five-year periods can a person have in his life? And how many separations can he endure?
As Xie Qi waited anxiously, the person in his arms finally said "hmm" softly.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The past is heavy, so let's put it behind us. From now on, I won't bring up the past, and neither can you. No matter how we argue, you can't say 'you don't want me anymore' again. Okay?"
Of course, after all that had happened, he would never argue with her again.
It was a great blessing from God to give him this girl, and he should treat her well.
However, the person in his arms snorted softly, and said in a very reserved manner: "It depends on your performance."
Xie Qi was not annoyed, but felt itchy instead.
He lowered his head again, looking for her eyes.
His sticky gaze gradually moved down and landed on her red lips which had lost a little bit of their color.
She is still hurt, so a heavy kiss is not possible, but a light kiss should be fine, right?
